| Additional information |
The New Jersey privy mark on this coin commemorates the state's 1999 position in the U.S. Mint's 50 State Quarters program — Perth seized on American collector appetite for crossover issues by issuing a series of Kookaburra dollars with corresponding privy marks throughout that program's run. It was a sharp piece of marketing, targeting a U.S. collector base already conditioned to chase state-by-state completions.
New Jersey was the third state quarter released, in May 1999.
